Qalee

Qalee is a phone environment develloped in Qt4 above the fso stack. It work on the freerunner under any distribution that support Qt4. It's not finished yet but you can test a preview version with the official Qalee distributon. This release includes no new features, but many fixes that didn’t worked or were incomplete in 0.0.2. You can read full announcement, or take a look at some of changes are:

Qalee is now based on shr instead of debian.

clock widget show now a calendar when clicked.

status panel widget shows gsm network name and power and internet connection status while on wifi or gprs.

screen menu : you can now choose the background picture with a cover-flow effect, letting the backlight always on now works.

network menu : all entries work, gsm one is a little buggy though.

Wifi works despite the the bug in the kernel 2.6.29 opened for 4 month.

application menu : to launch application just click on it :) when launched the button become green, to close it, press the close button which become red and click on the application you want to close

power button supports suspend on short press, or menu on longer press.

phone application is now litephone modified to use Qalee’s buttons.

GorshPlayer is broken, if you have Qt4.5.2 librairies with phonon working on shr, tell me (?)//FIXME

keyboard is still literky.

Themable interface allows you to change some colours of the interface.

WARNING :
Qalee is in pre-alpha stage, a lot of thinks are not coded yet, other are broken, some may be changed. It's just a preview version of the current work!

QSuunto-Lite is an application to download your logged dives from your Suunto dive computer or view previously dowloaded ones. For those of you who do not own a DC or do not have cables/adapters yet, you can use the samples provided in divetools-ab-samples.
I will also provide a fake download tool to simulate a download soon.
Whats new?

Evopedia is a Wikipedia reader for offline use. Evopedia 0.2.1 fixes a single bug: the "near articles" feature should work now, if it did not already. Furthermore, the Dutch Wikipedia dump is now ready to use. Features include:

Thomas White is implementing direct rendering for the Neo FreeRunner, with its SMedia Glamo3362 graphics accelerator. With his great work we will have a well-defined system to share access to the chip, enabling cooperation between the X server and programs using features such as hardware MPEG decoding or 3D graphics. Recently he didn't post much on his blog, but thats just because he spent most of his time and effort for coding. If you are interested in some details about this project, it is here. There are also available videos of Thomas White's work in ogv format, or on youtube
